The pain in Intel's transition from 14nm to 10nm is pretty well documented, but I was wondering what were Intel's original plans for Desktop and Server architectures before 10nm started to slip? (What cores were we supposed to have, besides Cannon Lake - what was removed from the roadmap, etc.)
...
Actually launched:
2015 - 14nm Skylake, ~ on time after Broadwell delayed
2016 - 14nm+ Kaby Lake (but was supposed to be 10nm Cannonlake)
2017 - *14nm++ Coffee Lake 6 core, 14nm Whiskey Lake for Mobile
2018 - 14nm++ Coffee Lake 8 core, and 1 SKU only of Cannon Lake for Chinese market (heavily disabled, low clocks)
2019 - 14nm Comet Lake and 10nm Ice Lake (mobile only - relatively low clocks and volume)
2020 - 14nm Rocket Lake and 10nm Tiger Lake (limited volume, but healthy frequencies)
2021 - 10nm Alder Lake, 10nm Ice Lake Servers
2022 - 10nm Raptor Lake
2023 - 10nm Raptor Lake Refresh, "4nm" Meteor Lake (somewhat limited volume, originally labeled "7nm"), Sapphire Rapids (launched 2 years late?)
2024 - (Arrow Lake)
2025 - (Arrow Lake Refresh)
*Node performance was substantially improved over base 14nm
Was the Desktop Roadmap supposed to be:
2016 - ***10nm Cannon Lake (up to 8 cores on desktop)
2017 - 10nm Ice Lake
2018 - Tiger Lake??
2019 - Meteor Lake ??
2020 - Alder Lake on "7nm"?
2021 - **Sapphire Rapids on 7nm?
**An Intel investor meeting in 2019 said Sapphire Rapids would be a 2021 launch.
